A eery small ke-berg, to ‘‘llich we an chored on the !nh of .lune, Wa% grounded in 5-2 fathoms, and was so firmly moored, that the Itrels of the dipping needle were not in the sliv,htest degree aret.ed. We have now got as far as Pour ' lslat . :d Point, near which I observed to-day, in 70.40. N. Latitude. It iS evident, from al! we have yet seen, that there is no getting u - i) the Straits, with 11. c ice in its present state, but by girlie y it along• close to the lam!, for there is not one drop of clear water to he 'seen any where cise, and if we did pot anchor to our friends, the brigs, every tide, st r could not gain au inch. The wtather hay been so caltU, tintt the ice, as far as we can see from the mast head, rent:lilts in one solid, unbroken good breeZe would scatter and help to dissolve it, for it is chiefly what is calks! young ice, which they say has been found dur ing. the MOnfhof April and the beginning of Nifty of the pre sent year. The season ha., certainly been severe, for some of the (.ireenland Ni:rt(NA say they got to degrees long be fore this time last year. 6. Since I last wrote, we have been incessantly occupied in attempting to get through the ice to the northward. The first stage we made was into North East Bay, where we have been detained several days, which could only be oc cupied iu settling the positiUU of the several points of hind, &c. and the variation of the compass, which, by the bye, can never be chine on board a ship with any toler able degree of accuracy, a ditTerence of thirty dcgrees aris ing from a change in the ship'S head, on hoard the Isabella. On board the Alexander this difference is very apparent also, but in a much smaller degree. I do not, however, consider the experiments we have yet made to he sufficiently nume rous, or sntficien'tly delicate, to enable us to draw any satis- factory conclusion front theM, on this very interesting point, till further and better opportirilities offer. We had rather an interesting visit from two Eslaimaux fa milies the Other day, hilt with the details of which I shall riot now trouble you, In truth, I have so few moments to spare front the immediate ditties which now press upon us, th.t fear you will think my letter but a shabby one. These last. two days hav - e given us, a run to the northward beyond our most sanguine expectation; as we are at this moment within 7 Miles of the northernmost of the Won:•tn's Islands, and passed Sanderson's Hope Yesterday evening. Our latitude (by aecouilt) to-day at noon was 73. 10. N.—lsabella's,73. long. 57. 14. W. Some of the Eskiruaux front these iilands Were, I understand, on board the Isabella to-day; and report, that the place in Which We now are has been clear of ice during 'bar whole hinter (is this possible ?), that no whales have been her:e during this season, and that they think there is plenty of clear water to the northward. If this be true; it is delightful intelligence for us. As far as we can out selves see , th ere is no reason to question the accuracy of their state ment, for, though the number of bergs is here, as at Riskoll, arid at Wavgatt Island, and Black Hook, almost beyond cOn ceptien ot belief, the fielthice appears to be by nu means so close as to stop our prdg s ress. How long this fair prospect may continue, it is impossible to judge, but the voyage brgins to acquire 'extreme interest, and all arc anxiously looking out to the northward. I am anxious now to put mr letters on hoard the Isabella, that they may go to England with the dispatches in tin! Ma jestic, and as the weatbeis rather foggy, lam afraid losing the opportunity, and will therefore delay no longer sending them to the Isabella. Believe me to retualn, my dear Sir, ever yoUr faithful and obliged servant, santeit. P.S.—Jule 6.--I have ju , t measured the height of an ice berg, which is 123 i feet, and it is a-ground in 145 fathoms ! This is literally a small one compared with some hundred that we have seen. B r et alir•re water, and fathotms under, seems to be the general run of their specific gravity. SHIP NEWS. The East India Company's extra ship Union arrived ot Portland yesterday morning.

The play was altogether rendered animated and effective. The popular Romance of Blue Beard followed, an'd Mr. EGER -tots supported the Eastern Tyrant with as much success as ha did the English Hypocrite. Mrs. C.

',Erna 1. kro THE I ; owEits ABOUT TO ASsENIB:n fa CONGRESS AT AIXILA-CHAPFLLE. Great and Mai;tiininious Sovereigns, The work which you are ast+en►bledl to fittis!'t is worthy of the illustrious Archi►ects. The political system which binds together and blesses the nations Of Europe was broken and al tnost destroyed. Shaken by revolutionary earth. 'quakes, its stately columus had fallen, its twin clati.6'f':sl were rent asunder, and those parts of the magnificent fabric which yet cohered, laid one,' to e've'ry blast, and tOttering at every shock, threaened us with new crushes, and more ex truded ruin. The Mrnighit' at length looked down with pity on this wreck of the best 'social institutions of ci vili7ed man, his own secondary work, the fairest sublunary fruit of created intelligence and wisdom. At his behest, the crater of p a d ambition g av e vent in the north to its pernicious elements ; awl the central mischief ceased. The shocks that followed had lost their subverting energies ; and the Continent at leiioll was still. To you, august Sinereigns, did God in hi's mercy next commit the renovation of the goodly edifice. By you, as iris beneficent instruments, the happy balance of European Powers has heel) r i._ 7 stored. You have raised again the filler) Thronct. of France. You have g iven back their sceptres to the li:hugs of Spain, of Portugal, and Naples. You Piave raised the house of Orange to more thail its former dignity and power. Lven the Roman Pontiff received from you the restitution of the temporal Sovereignty to which ages of possession form, or attest, his right. 'lO most of the 6,..rmata Powers your have also given hack what they hail lost by Itevolutionary War. If tine former state of Europe has not been more universally restored, it is not, I trust, from your disregard to the fair Claims of justice. bonne Powers, perhaps, bad , justly forfeited the rights they once pt ssessed and, in some eases, no pursue successfully the system of redintegration ma}- not, Consistently with ( beneficent pOlicy, or eve r t perhaPs with strict justice to all parties, have been. within your power.
